"Deserves more views"—Alice in Borderland Season 3 teaser features 'the final card' as excited fans compare the show to Squid Game 

Arisu and Usagi will be back in the purgatory for deadly games in Alice in Borderland Season 3. Netflix recently released the first official teaser for their Japanese science fiction survival series, which debuted in December 2020 and is based on Haro Aso's manga series of the same name.

Alice in Borderland became the No. 1 show on Netflix’s Global Top 10 list (for non-English shows) with its Season 2 debut in 2022. Fans were excited when Season 3 was announced, and the latest teaser confirms that the third installment will be released on Netflix on Thursday, September 25, 2025.

The Alice in Borderland Season 3 teaser opens with an ominous Joker card, the final card in the game. The Joker card was a later addition to the French-suited deck and is referred to as a wild card, unlike the face and number cards. The ambiguous place of the card in a deck teases a high-stakes adventure for Arisu and Usagi.

With new and deadly games in the teaser, fans can't help but compare the latest season with Squid Game, as a fan commented on YouTube:

''I can't believe that this show isn't as popular as "Squid Game." "Alice in Borderland" deserves more views. I'm looking forward to the third season.''

Director Shinsuke Sato will return to helm the latest season with the main cast, which includes Kento Yamazaki as Ryōhei Arisu and Tao Tsuchiya as Yuzuha Usagi.

Fans compare Alice in Borderland Season 3 to Squid Game

After a long wait, Alice in Borderland Season 3 will finally be back in September 2025, and fans are already looking forward to the new season.

With the recent hype around the final season of Squid Game, fans are also comparing the two shows:

''I felt this was way better than squid game, so I’m glad it’s back.'' u/Submitten

While some fans are already comparing it to the deadly games in Squid Game, they are hoping for a better ending. Since Gi-hun and all major players tragically died in the final season, some fans didn't like this bleak ending and are hoping that Alice in Borderland will conclude on a happy note:

While Netflix's Japanese show has enjoyed its own popularity, it still couldn't match the hype around Squid Game, which is now a global phenomenon. With the new season, fans are hoping that it gets its proper due:

''I know SG is the popular darling but I LOVE Alice in Borderland so much more. Better music, characters, games, plot. I'm so excited.'' u/Calm_Memories

Netflix unveils the official teaser for Alice in Borderland Season 3

The latest teaser for Alice in Borderland Season 3 is more intense and increases the stakes for Arisu and Usagi. While the previous two seasons adapted Aso's complete source material, the show was renewed for another season and might include some original storylines.

The Alice in Borderland Season 3 teaser opens with Arisu and Usagi, who are now married but are still haunted by the visions and dreams of Borderland. While the couple has escaped their purgatory, they are still bound by their memories and are lured back in for another round of deadly games.

After Usagi is lured back into the Borderland by a man who studies the afterlife, the couple is thrust back into the dangerous world. When Usagi suddenly vanishes, Arisu vows to return to the inevitable danger and get her out.

Arisu's return to the purgatory in Alice in Borderland Season 3 is filled with dangers like fire arrows and electric currents, but he will not stop his search for Usagi. With the final Joker game ahead, will the couple reunite in Borderland and get out alive for a third time? That is the eerie question the teaser leaves us with.
